Brauhausberg, Natural summit in Teltower Vorstadt, Potsdam, Germany

The Brauhausberg is an 88-metre-high hill in the Teltower Vorstadt of Potsdam, forming the northern end of the Saarmunder end moraine. Its summit is dominated by the former Kriegsschule, a large complex built from 1899 to 1902 to plans by Franz Schwechten, later used as the Reichsarchiv and the SED district leadership. The hill's name comes from a royal brewery established on it in 1716.

The hill's slopes were first mentioned in 1515, when a princely vineyard was laid out there and wine was grown until around 1700. In 1716 a royal brewery opened in a former grain store, giving the hill its name. From 1899 to 1902 Franz Schwechten built the new military school around the 1804 Belvedere; the school later housed the Reich Archive, the SED district leadership and the Brandenburg state parliament.

The hill's name comes from the royal brewery founded in 1716, and Alexander von Humboldt first called it the "Potsdam Chimborazo" after his failed attempt on the South American peak. In GDR times the school complex on top was nicknamed the "Kremlin".

The hill can be reached on foot along marked paths that connect naturally with walks along the Havel riverbank. Sturdy shoes are a good idea since parts of the path have uneven ground.

For decades, Potsdam residents called the building on the hill the 'Kreml', a nickname that stuck after the Socialist Unity Party took it over in the late 1940s. The name outlasted the East German state itself and is still used informally today.
